CAMERA SYSTEM WITH ROTATING ELEMENTS FOR INCREASED FRAMERATES

Abstract:

A camera system includes an array of image sensor assemblies, relay lenses and image processing electronics internal to the camera housing. The image sensor assemblies and relay lenses rotate about the rotation axis such that the image sensor assembly captures light focused into the camera housing by a main imaging lens on an external surface of the camera housing. The camera system is configured to capture images using the lens assemblies and process the images as they are read from the image sensors into a high frame rate video stream. The camera system may be able to configure elements of the camera system to improve the quality of the images used in the video stream.
